Sorry for crap pic but this is from an album sleeve. Anyway,looks like a fender of some sort just wondered if it was a custom job...

Also free penny sweet (£2 p&p not included) for the first person to name the band and album!
Si

[Roland Rock]

Brubacker have a penchant for those burst type scratch plates, but I don't recognise the model

[brensabre79]

Actually naming the band and album might help identify the bass!

[BobVbass]

You saying all Bobs are thick planks that no-one has heard of?

well you have a point I suppose....

Looks like one of those Fender Precision artist models from a few years back - can't remember who but they were sea foam green, single volume pot...

btw -

I think you should call it Gert and leave the rude part out...

nope it's not that - I was thinking of this - [url="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/fender-mark-hoppus-signature-bass-guitar"]http://www.musiciansfriend.com/bass/fender-mark-hoppus-signature-bass-guitar[/url]

[clashcityrocker]

Yeah at first I thought it was a mark hoppus sig but its actually pretty different. The album is Straight Ahead by Pennywise,proper good south Californian punk check them out!I know he seems to always use fenders,I just love the simplicity of the bass

Ibanez

[LeftyJ]

That. I was thinking TR too, looks like a custom job.

[harleyheath]

that does look real close, only one knob on the pic but cud be a different model?

B-trude?

[brensabre79]

It's definitely not a Fender, the end of the neck isn't rounded enough. I think it looks a bit too rounded to be the Ibanez though, although it is extremely close! Maybe it has been customised (new pickguard without the holes), or more likely photo retouched! There's no way you'd have a two pickup bass with only one control is there?

[LeftyJ]

Sure you can. Ibanez will build anything for their endorsees. For example, some of their current signature artists (Mike d'Antonio of Killswitch Engage and Peter Iwers of In Flames) specified twin-pickup active basses based on the SRX, but with only a volume knob. If you never use anything other than the volume and set everything else neutral all the time, why would you place 5 knobs on the front? Looks very nice and clean too. I suspect this TR was a custom job too. I know Jason Thirsk played TR's when he was still in Pennywise, and his successor Randy Bradbury did too.
